  • I fucking hated spotify from the moment I first interacted with it, primarily due to the way the app worked, and its exploitative position as middleware.

    Convenience be damned if it’s a net loss to society.

  • Sorry, bud, the cultural issues that led us here aren’t so much about your cultural civil war that is mostly just class war in disguise. It’s a both sides problem at the heart of the empire, the one where even the poor folks are okay with 800+ bases on foreign soil, etc.

  • Self education that leads you and your friends away from heroic individualism, hypercapitalism, parochialism, cults, and other cultural excesses that lead to authoritarianism. It’s what we’re dealing with around the globe but the USA is struggling to understand.

  • No, I know you are trying to argue in good faith, but I asserted that 2/3 supported, which includes not voting, regardless of defeatism. If the vast majority voted in opposition but still failed, there would be much more impetus for electoral reform, for example.

    Failure to actively oppose at the polls is tacit support, even if it’s negligent. Disenfranchised votes are worth struggle.

  • All-or-nothing thinking is part of what got you folks into this mess. If the problem is not purely political but also cultural, you can both be responsible, and actively trying to fix it.

    Just what the fuck do you expect most of us to do?

    Build local antifascist institutions and cultural reform by talking to each other about it. Call out jingoistic individualism. Participate in walking away from oligarch capital at every opportunity possible. Lots and lots of protests, and all the hidden active support logistics. It’s a long list, so I will just add in study history in small mutual education groups.

  • You assert that if the missing 100 million showed up it would make no difference in the outcome, so they were not showing tacit support? I remain unconvinced.

  • The target audience is not the activists who are already doing what we ask, yes we know, but you are missing that we are seeing a lot of posts disavowing any responsibility, which indicates a deep cultural flaw of individualism and American Exceptionalism, and yeah it bears repeating as the psychological resistance to that message is fierce.

  • You, um, let them do it?

    How so, you ask? A cultural acceptance of hero worship, rugged capitalism, and global dominion. A lack of adequate reflexivity. Yes, it’s cultural, which puts some atom of power in every resident’s hands and mouth.

  • This pessimism is annoyingly familiar to Canadians, but we usually express it with a hint of irony.

  • JFK, yeah, excellent example: the whole point of the reconciliation process is recognizing that there is collective responsibility beyond individual actions.

    I didn’t direct the genocide, but fucking rights I benefit as a settler, and repairing that involves both compensation and recognition of the existence of those benefits. It’s an ongoing struggle here as a lot of immature thinking still exists, crying about “it wasn’t me, stop blaming” while eating the fruits of colonialism every breathing moment.

    Greenlanders don’t own land. They don’t have this individualism problem very much.

  • Bullshit. A few years when the commitment is there and collective responsibility is widespread.

  • Individualism and authoritarianism demands a hero comes along to bandaid all the problems. Don’t fall for it.

    Civic responsibility doesn’t mean standing on a pile of bodies holding a rifle aloft.

  • As a Canadian who is under direct economic and now physical threat by magapolitik: yes and no.

    The entire thing is NOT victim blaming. If two thirds of the electorate supported the fascists, the remaining third is both victim and responsible, and the ONLY way to fix this problem at the moment is for that demographic to recognize it, despite the education system and popular culture suppressing nuance in thinking.

    So often, the apologies or calls for sympathy are founded in a deep individualism and shallow civic duty. Yeah, it’s your neighbours who are the soil that grows fascism. You have to fix it at the root: education, civic development, secularism, humanism, community, collective action. You have to heal rifts of creed and work hard to eliminate racism, and realize that the endgame of capitalism is always oligarchy and imperialism.

    So yeah ‘fix your shit’ applies when we feel like “service neighbours” for your absolution, as we are not going to make you feel better when we are stressed by your collective existential threats and you are showing a distinct lack of responsibility.

    On the other hand I know of lots of folks who are already preparing to support refugees, particularly trans etc., so we are being practical here about the active victim situation, not just keyboarding.
